Population Limit

Bug

Phase 1

I've got a level 3 village (large town?) my population says 50/150 so I think I should be able to get another 100 population.

I've run out of food and that 50 hasnt gone down, I've gained a stock of food from my 2 farms and set farm labouring to 100% and it still stays on exactly 50 without growing.

Is population growth bugged or is there a 50minimum floor and do I need to do something like set double rations to make it grow ?

Thanks for the report. Right

Thanks for the report. Right now, I think it shouldn't be bugged but still it seems something is miscalibrated. We'll take a look into it.

Normally, the growth rate is modified by:
- the food ratio
- the people's morale (growth rate is moderately affected by extremely low or high morale)

Tax can also indirectly influence it as that can decrease or increase morale (the turning point is around 20% tax).

If you have, say, 50% morale (average) and normal rations, it'd need to grow 1-2 people per tick.
But if they'd truly revolting, you'd lose 3-4 people per tick with normal rations.

Please try to set it to double rations and 0% tax for a few ticks (if you can afford it) and let us know if you see a difference (and what).

Tax has been at 0% for the

Tax has been at 0% for the last day (gold still seems to be growing so I didnt see the need for it)

My rations are now set to double and have been for 3 ticks. Food is going down fairly fast so the increased rations are being applied.

Population still sat at exactly 50/150 and unmoving either up or down.

Your people don't care about

Your people don't care about the tax rate. Increase it and they will not leave, decrease it and no extra people will join your village.

Food rations does not affect your people either. But they do eat the extra food you offer them.

For a week, my population is not growing at any of three maps we have. My yield in agriculture is high but I am wasting lot of food. Ratios are also buggy, not working at all.
